52. The Ball's Night

Alex's P.O.V

We danced till we couldn't dance any longer. It was so much fun! We danced spontaneously and it was even better than the danced we practiced. When we finally sat down, we sat with our friends. Kyle looked so handsome, he and Clara were perfect! The table was full of couples, Ethan and Ruby joined our table. We talked a lot, and laughed a lot. We were trying to pick the best couple of us, but we failed. It seemed that we were all perfect. These people were so awesome, I was really going to miss them!

My hair was almost a disaster now, and I felt sorry for Clara, because she did me the hairstyle after all. Sirius kept on pushing my hair behind my ear. He kept on saying that it looked better this way, but he finally admitted that he also did it because he liked touch my cheeks, which was really funny. I never thought anyone would like such a thing about me, how my cheeks felt, for example. Sirius likes some little things about me that I didn't even know they exist, and it's really amazing.

Max and Remus were talking alone now, and James and Lily were telling us about something that professor Slughorn told them tonight. But they were stopping every little while to laugh.

The ball was sadly over, despite the fun that we had I was really tired now. And I couldn't wait to remove all of this makeup and undo my hair. I said goodbye to the others giving each one of them a hug. And then Max and Clara both kissed their boyfriends and so did I. and after the long flirting conversation I had with Sirius we all walked together to our dormitories.

Max's P.O.V

"So did he like it?" Clara asked me.

"Oh he loved it!" I said rubbing my face with soap. Clara didn't have a makeup remover, and I really think she should've told us earlier! That really sucked, my eyes were full of makeup and soap and they were really hurting me. We were in the bathroom, wearing our nightgowns. Turning from being attractive to being unexceptionally hideous.

"I told you didn't I?" Clara said.

"You and Kyle also were great!" Alex said talking to Clara.

"Honestly Alex, I don't know how you managed to spend all these years with him without falling in love with him!" She said and we laughed. "He's absolutely perfect!"

"I know." Alex said.

"So you honestly never had a crush on him?" I asked still suffering, but now washing my face with water.

"No! He's just like a brother for me. But I have to admit that he's really sweet and kind, and I knew that whenever he was having a great girlfriend that he was going to treat her well." Alex said. "How the hell am I supposed to remove this shitty stuff?!" She then started shouting.

"You have to take your eyes off! It's the only way!" I said sarcastically. "I think it's been Clara's plan all the way, and we thought she was acting very sweetly." Clara and Alex laughed. Then there was a long pause.

"There are only two days left for us in Hogwarts. I can't believe it." Alex then said sadly. You know, I couldn't believe it either. Alex, Kyle and the others became a part of Hogwarts, I hated the fact that they were leaving, someday, and now this day was really close. Really close indeed.

"Believe me, if you don't keep in touch I'm gonna hex you! No, like really, I mean it!" I said to Alex who laughed immediately.

"Honestly girl, you're amazing and everything, but sometimes you're really frightening!" She said to me.

"I think I look really frightening now." I said for the mascara and eyeliner were all on my cheeks from all of the violent rubbing and washing.

"Yeah, I think I'm gonna have you in a nightmare, thank you very much!" Alex said.

"Well, I don't. I think you're gonna dream about today, and how magical it was."

"Indeed it was." Said Alex and the three of us sighed. "magical."

"Ugh, for god's sake!" Said Clara deciding to help me. She finally managed to get me all normal again. "Come on, let's go to sleep. I'm exhausted!"

I laid in bed and started thinking. Today was so perfect that I could probably even use it as a patronus memory when I learn how to produce a patronus. It was one of the best days of my life
